An Elk Comes to Town.

Gus Heller came to town on Wednesday
with fine elk which he had procured at
Judith Basin. The elk, which is about
two years old, was caught by Indians and
was sold by them to white folks at judith
Basin, who raised it as a pei. Gus Heller,
who is always ready for a deal, gave tilly
for it and led it away, amid great weeping
on the part of the children, with whom it
was a favorite. Gus is taking. the elk to
Helena, where heexpects to sell it for $3.50.
While in the park the ELK locked restless,
and when woman came in sight would
walk toward her. his reasrd for the fair
sex, Gus says, is dae 70 the fact that tae
elk was raised BY women Nlho treated it
kindly. The elk was unaccustomed to
cities, and looked WenderingIy at Great
Falls.

There is cruel rumor afoat that Col.
Broadwater of Montana and the Bernhardt
had an encounter ON Monday. As the
story goes, when at the Ryan the colonel
has been in the custom of having parlor
A assigned to him. This is the one that
Dernhardt had. The colonel sailed into it
Monday unaware of the divine presence
behind the doors. She jabbered French
at him and the colonel called up his choic-
est Helena verbs and nouns, and politely
retired. That was all, save the blush of
embarrassment that still clings to the col
oners cheek.-Pioaeer Press.

squad Of Minnesota men invaded the tes-
ritorial capital last night and took quarters
at the Grand Central hotel. The party is
composed of Messrs. Samuel H. Nichols,
W. A. Nichols, J. Y. Wilson of St. Paul.
w. S. Schultz of Minneapolis and F. ".
Waite of Rochester, MINI. They are al
on the way to Great Falls, and are con
nected variously with the townsite com
pany of that place and the Manitoba rail
road. Hon. Samuel Nichols is secretary
and treasurer of the Great Falls Townsite
company, and his son, ". A. Nichols, as
sistant secretary. They go to the new town
of northern Montana to take charge OF
the affairs of the company and lend an IN
fusion of Minnesota boom blood to the al
ready euickening veins of metropolitan
growth that are beginning to permeate the
system CT the embryo city of Great Falls.
Hon 5. II. Nichols was for many years
clerk Of the supreme, court OF Minnesota,
and his son filed the post of deputy with
the same ability that marked the sires
administration of the higher Office. Both
are stanch republicans and men Of expe-
rience in commercial fields. They
They hold important commissions from
J. J. Hill, the chief OF the Manitoba rail
way system, and will assist in developing
the extensive plans of that enterprising
magnate in Montana. The others of the
party have similar connections and aims
in journeying to Montana, each holding
some interest, present or prospective, In
the city of Great Falls. The main object
of the whole expedition may be said to
contemplate the taking possession OF the
helm of the Great Falls boom and plotting
it to speedy and successful metropolitan
| maturity. One Of their first moves is un-
| derstood to be the early incorporation
of that town as a,eity with full municipal
powers. The gentlemen spent the day here
1 and were variously entertained by our
prominent citizens, viewing the points Of
interest in and about the city and listening
TO veracious narratives descriptive of our
resources. They will start tomorrow for
the north, fully equipped with definitely
formulated plans and a complete assort-
ment of boom baggage"

The Knoxville Journal says: Only
few days ago, steam was first made
and engines put in motion which are
to propel the mammoth lumber es-
tablishment of the Scottish CaroIi>
ma Timber and Land Company.
When completed this will be one OF
the largest, if not the largest, lum-
Der establishment south of the Ohio
river. The gentlemen who have
charge of it have looked thoroughly
over the ground and have invested
their money after the fullest investi-
cation. They are energetic, enter
prising and have ample capital to
carry on their business to the full
est extent necessary. 1t is believed
that they will make big money, and
every one will rejoice if it should
be millions.
The Unaka Timber Company, of
Grand Rapids, Michigan, have pur>
chased property on the bank OF the
Tennessee river, nearly opposite the
plant of the Scottish Carolina Com
pany, and will, at an early day be-
gin the erection of their machinery
for an immense concern at that
point. There is no telling what
magnitude the lumber business of
Knoxville will reach within the
next twelve months.

THE Quo WARRANTo CASE.


The case State on the Relation
of Cole vs.. Patterson was heard yes
terday before Judge Graves. The
question for decision involved the
right of the plaintiff for the time in
which to file his bonds, also as to
the suficiencY of the bonds offered.
The counsel for Mr.. Cole was Maj.
W. Fl. Malone; for Mr.. Pate. son
Mr.. M. E. Carter.
The relator introduced about IL
witnesses and the defendant eight.
Nearly the whole day was con-
sumed in the examination of testi-
mony, and the argument on the part
of the relator was begun at half past
5 p. m. Intermediately, Judge
Graves had decided one point; tha.
is, that the bonds offered by Mr..
Cole on the 1st of December were
insufficient. Those offered on Jan>
uaary LIST were sufficient; and he no.
tilted the counsel that they mu,
shape their arguments to conform
to this opinion.
At the conclusion of the argu
ment in the case, Judge Graves de-
cided that the Commissioners were
not authorized to receiye the bond
Of the plaintiff when last rendered
thus leaving Mr.. Patterson in pos
session OF the office From this
decision Mr.. Cole appealed.
